1. Tell us a little about you. Where are you from, what are your hobbies and where did you start your career that led to the business?
I’m Jordan Oliphant, owner of GOLDEN Mobile Spray tanning. I have a lifelong background in pageants. My aunt owned a salon in Bowling Green, and my cousin owns a very successful salon now. So with that said, I’ve grown up around the beauty industry my entire life. Originally I’m from Scottsville, but I have lived here in Bowling Green for 8 years now. I love traveling, any kind of sports–especially cheering on the Crimson Tide (ROLL TIDE), interior design, and spending time with friends and family.
2. What is your earliest memory of your work, what got you interested in it?
With my pageant background, I have always loved skin care and I’ve always tried to maintain a tan for that reason. I used to be a tanning bed user in college and in high school, and I cannot stress enough the importance of protecting your skin. My commitment to my organic airbrush tanning comes from my own mom previously having melanoma skin cancer, and that made me want people to understand the importance of taking care of their skin and over exposure. You always feel better with a tan–just get one the safe way!
3. What is your favorite thing you offer or provide?
The unique thing that GOLDEN offers, is that I can come to you in the comfort of your own home or wherever you’d like (or you can come to me). All of my solution is 100% organic, vegan, and animal-cruelty free. I love that it is actually brown sugar based- zero chemicals! You can find more info on my website and see the full price menu at goldenspraytanning.com!
4. Who are your influences in life and your work?
My family is my biggest influence in life-they’re all so supportive of each other. My dad Jeff owns a business that has been going for 60 years, that was started by his dad. He has the best work ethic–someone who hardly takes time out for himself, because he’s putting his clients before him. A genuine workaholic.
5. If you had to choose a last meal, what would you eat (Just a fun question and doesn’t have to be local)?
I love fresh seafood. My last meal would be a feast-crab legs, grilled shrimp, calamari, raw oysters! 🙂 yum
6. How important is local business collaboration to you?
Very important to me. I love teaming up and networking with other local owners and organizations. It’s awesome to have support from the other businesses around town, and promote each others services.
7. What events or charity groups in Bowling Green are you involved with?
In February, I’m teaming up with another local business downtown, Zingarella for a spray & shop after hours event for Valentines day. February 10th from 6-8 at her downtown store. Our clients can shop, enjoy a glass of champagne, and get a beautiful tan for their Valentines day weekend. It’s the best of both worlds! A fun girls night! $20 tans that night and 20% off Liz’s merchandise.
8. What do you see for the future of your business in Bowling Green and serving South Central Kentucky?
I definitely see GOLDEN growing more in the future, and adding a more versatile age range of clients. When I first started, I probably had anywhere from 3-4 clients a week, mostly college aged clients. Now I’m booking wedding parties, and recently just gained clients in Nashville! One of my newest clients was 4th Runner up at Miss America! Pretty awesome!
9. What other locally owned businesses in town do you enjoy shopping, eating or patronizing
Some of my favorite locally owned business here in town are Barbra Stewart Interiors, Spencers coffee, Zingarella Boutique, and Rummage 300.
